This new bioink kit allows users with an Allevi 2, Allevi 3 or Allevi 6 to mix materials from two syringes during the printing process. This is especially useful when working with materials that require curing catalysts or liquid crosslinking agents (i.e. sodium alginate, calcium chloride, certain silicones, etc).

The ability to mix materials at the nozzle opens up a whole new frontier of materials that you are able to extrude from your Allevi bioprinter. The Coaxial Kit is prepackaged with everything you need to get started out of the box including coaxial tip, tubing, luer lock tip connectors, and custom coaxial gcode.

Our mission here at Allevi is to supply you with best possible bioprinting tools that make it easy to bring your work to life. We are constantly testing new methods, bioinks, and tools in our lab to ensure that we are delivering cutting edge techniques to your bench. Together we are making giant strides in the field of tissue engineering and uncovering new methods that will forever change the way we #buildwithlife. We can’t wait to see what you will build with this one.

We’re #bioprinting with the #Allevi1 today in our lab. We’re using the #autocalibration feature to quickly switch between syringe tips, printing into #wellplates for #highthroughput, using the cooling feature to work with #collagen, AND we’re controlling it all remotely using the Allevi software to reduce the risk of contamination.
All this powerful tech in such a small footprint means we have space to spare under our hood! We design our #bioprinters around your workflow because we know how precious space and time are when it comes to the lab. What will you build?

Okay okay not the heart you were imagining today but we wanted to take a moment to tell you about how cool heart tissue is!
Heart tissue is composed of two main cell types- cardiomyocytes (CMCs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFBs). CMCs are the contracting cells which allow the heart to pump. Each CMC needs to contract in sync with its neighboring cells to efficiently pump blood from the heart to the rest of your body. CFBs give support to the muscle tissue but are unable to provide forceful contractions. They hold the CMCs in place so they can do their job. Don’t discount CFBs though- they play a crucial role in responding to injury by creating collagen to repair broken tissue.
Our newest addition to the #AlleviAuthor club is a team of researchers out of @gwuniversity that is #3D #bioprinting heart tissue!! Read more at the Allevi blog and Happy Valentine’s day!

We are so honored to be selected by FierceMedTech as one of their #Fierce15 MedTech Companies of 2018! What really makes Allevi #fierce is our amazing #community of users who are using their Allevi #bioprinters to make tangible impacts on patients’ lives. #buildwithlife #healwithlife Thank you, FierceMedTech!!
